    "Will you think it's possible that
    I was once considered attractive?"

    These are the arguments of Blanch Dubois, incorporated in perfectly madness by Mrs. Vivien Leigh.
    "A Streetcar Named Desire" is a thrilling classic with expressive dialogues, scandalous characters and that wonderful close to their beautiful faces.
    The play about a woman on the verge, whose pretensions to virtues and culture only thinly mask delusions of grandeur and alcoholism. An exotic person into a streetcar willing to visit her sister, but the kindness of Marlon Brando’s character passed near something she wasn’t really expecting. His name’s Stanley Kowalski and he was a sensual primal whose nature used to abuse physically and emotionally of her. Stanley’s wife Stella was an ordinary and fearful woman that tried so hard to only see the good things about her sister. She wasn’t really waiting for Stanley to be loving with Blanch, but his wildness was just too much, that it couldn’t led to anything other than what happens next.
    When Stanley starts finding secret elements about Blanch’s past, he begin to wonder how she manages to be with them like it’s nothing and after everything she told them, the way that they welcomed her to their house, it made impossible in Stanley’s head to feel well about this situation. Along came his sacred liquor and before he realizes, they were struggling to death.
    That’s what you read, that’s what it was.
    The final confrontation of Stanley and Blanch.
    Regardless of the traditional times that is lived by this masterpiece, Desire’s an expressive word that was subtly and well-used in the plot. Since Blanche seduced by a 17-years-old boy, Stanley sexy and brute pole, submissive Stella attracted by her husband’s aggressiveness… until the streetcar named Desire itself, that in some way symbolizes that feeling which took Blanch to search for her sister.
    A streetcar we all got into sometime!
